The sun glistens on the calm waters of Pamlico Sound. Our boat gently rocks as we cast our lines. Suddenly a tug. The rod bends. A flash of copper beneath the surface. The redfish fights hard pulling the line. Its powerful tail churns the water. We carefully reel it in. The beautiful red drum emerges. Its scales shimmer in the light. We admire its spotted tail before releasing it back to the depths. Another memory made on these bountiful North Carolina waters.
